Analysis

Ecopetrol S.A (EC) currently trades at $16.78, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $18.51, implying the stock looks roughly 10.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Energy sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Ecopetrol S.A generated revenue of $126T at a net margin of 7.5%. Revenue declined 8.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.0%. Net debt stands at $98.4T. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $10.74 (bear case) to $23.01 (bull case); at $16.78, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 113% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -11% fair-value upside, at 10%, EC screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
